Homework: 30% (due at the end of Thursday lecture)
First Midterm: 20% (covers OWN Chapters 9, 10 and State Space Representation)
Second Midterm: 20% (covers OWN Chapter 11)
Third Midterm: 20% (covers Controller Design)
Final Project: 10% (Simulink Case Study)
- Homework:
Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis. NO LATE HOMEWORK ACCEPTED.
Consulting with fellow students on homework is permissible as long as it is not
mere copying. Homework will consist of a self-graded component and a graded component.
The self-graded component will be drawn from "Basic Problems with Answers" and the end
of each chapter. For each problem, award yourself as follows:
- 2 points --- if correct before checking answer
- 1 point --- if correct after checking answer and trying again
- 0 point --- self-explanatary
The graded component will be based on 5 points per problem using the following
criteria:
- 5 points --- if completely finished and correct
- 4 points --- if completely finished, method correct, minor error
- 3 points --- if method basically correct, more serious error
- 2 points --- if you show some understanding of approach to solution
- 1 point --- hope springs eternal
- 0 point --- self-explanatory
